Sample 4
MEMORANDUM To: Paul Leroy, Regional Sales Manager From: Lee Wei, Assistant Sales Manager Date: May 20, 2016 Subject: About the Inquiry Purpose: I have dealt with the inquiry that you passed to me on Friday. Summary: This inquiry was from MR LEE Caterers of Central, who wanted to know whether we could offer him a special wholesale discount on food and wine for his business. Discussion: I told Mr. LEE that Stop & Shop was a retail, rather than a wholesale supermarket chain. However, I also told him that we could offer his company the same discount facility offered to all our customers --- 5% discount on orders over $1,000. Action: However, I made it clear that payment had to be made no later than 20 days after receipt of invoice, and that payment after that time was subject to interest and all discounts became void.
